The extensive continuum presents that the world is bound with solidarity. It has two points of view. One is special, the other general. Both of them are real potentialities. The former has to presuppose the latter. And also the former has a standpoint decided, but the latter doesn't have.
In this way, however wide it may be, our present epoch belongs to the special extensive continuum that includes shapes, dimensions, measurability, metrical geometry. But the general extensive continuum don't include them.
The extensive continuum can be explained by qualities, such as reality, divisibility, publicity, relationship. They are requisites for considering only the side of superject of an actual entity. At first, reality includes two means, the real from actual world settled and the real necessarily in the future. Secondly, divisibility means "not divided but only divisible", possibilities of division. 'Division' means division into prehensions of feelings. Therefore division shows that it includes other objects. So we call it coordinate division. Thirdly, publicity can be searched in coordinate division. Publicity is also relative to superject.
Last, relationship makes datum a relative scheme. Superject roles as object and its role has been ready for next. The superject is relative to the actual entity arrived at a satisfaction. In this satisfaction, the qualities can be considered. These qualities are an action of the extensive continuum. Therefore the extensive continuum is not an aspect of subjcet of an actual entity but that of superject. Thus the place of the extensive continuum become actual entity, actual occasion.
In conclusion, for understanding right the extensive continuum, we have to know, as stated above till now, its two points of view, the special and the general. Also we have to know synthetically its qualities.
